Texts Show Disagreement Among Allegedly-Unified Intelligence Community Members on Russian Interference; Some Dismissed Accusations as Coming from Those "With Partisan Axes to Grind"
But I thought they were unanimous and the evidence was unquestionable.
Strangely enough, some of these concerns were voiced by... Peter Strzok, who is himself an intense partisan, but who apparently found some partisans too partisan.Related: Nellie Ohr Refusing to Cooperate With Congressional Investigation; Congress May Have to Compel Her Cooperation via Subpoena. Chuck Ross reporting. Maybe demanding that she testify would be akin to rape, as is claimed of another leftwing ringer.
For most of the past two years, the U.S. intelligence community has presented a united front on all the key conclusions in the January 2017 report that Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election. Now, congressional investigators have unearthed text messages and emails showing the FBI feared there were some in the intelligence community with "partisan axes to grind" and suggesting there could be no singular conclusion that Moscow wanted to help elect Donald Trump. For instance, then-FBI agent Peter Strzok's text and email messages in December 2016 and January 2017 show his boss feared that giving some classified information to the White House, then-Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper and the larger intelligence community in the final days of the Obama administration might result in political abuse. ...
Just before Christmas in 2016, as Trump was preparing to assume the presidency, Strzok and Page texted sentiments of concern that there was some conflicts between classified intelligence and the information already in the intelligence community. Those conflicts, they feared, would surface as the FBI made its final contribution to the intelligence community report on Russia meddling.

The entire "intelligence community" is worried about a repeat of the NSA's little Shamrock issues from the '40s-'70s.
Basically the FBI was ordered to arrest NSA agents for violating US law by intercepting communications. Everyone backed down, hearings were held, etc.
But that kind of shit scares our IC, because they know they routinely violate black letter statute as part of their jobs.
So, yeah, I can see why FBI agents would be like, "er... you know, guys, let's tread lightly here. We don't want to piss off anyone in government TOO much, because, well, jail."

We all seem to assume that our military could fuck up Russia or China or whoever in a legit war.
How sure are we of that? They haven't done a bang up job the last x number of wars they've been a part of. (blame the brass, the bureaucracy, the politicians, the whatever, but we haven't had a decisive victory since WWII, and we haven't been facing intimidating foes either.)

When the mission is "Kill as many people as possible," they do a pretty good job.
That's the thing. Government is a slow moving sledge hammer. It's fantastic to hit large, slow moving targets. It can only really actually damage things that need to stay together to survive.
Other countries tend to be like that. Smash them until they're dead.

When the mission is "Kill as many people as possible," they do a pretty good job.
That's the thing. Government is a slow moving sledge hammer. It's fantastic to hit large, slow moving targets. It can only really actually damage things that need to stay together to survive.

I'm not surprised, to be honest. I've seen no evidence that government (especially ours) is competent at much.

We all seem to assume that our military could fuck up Russia or China or whoever in a legit war.
How sure are we of that? They haven't done a bang up job the last x number of wars they've been a part of. (blame the brass, the bureaucracy, the politicians, the whatever, but we haven't had a decisive victory since WWII, and we haven't been facing intimidating foes either.)

They pretty much have to. Law enforcement only works in a stable, unified society. They know the President absolutely will sic the Marines on them and siege California if he has to.
I think he will have to, but surrendering is the difference between "merely" having their power broken, versus their families decorating trees all along the I-66 highway.

So, last night, I was watching the original Murder on the Orient Express. Then I got to thinking, I couldn't remember what year Anthony Perkins dies. I looked him up on IMDB and found out:
1. He left behind a widow and two children.
2. Said widow died on September 11 as she was in one of the planes.
3. He didn't have sex with a woman until he was 39 in 1971. His first time? Victoria Principal
4. His sister-in-law is/was Marissa Berensen
5. He didn't know he was HIV positive until the National Enquirer exposed it. They somehow got a blood sample of his and tested it and published the results. (Although he suspected he was but never got tested.)

We rolled through Iraq like crap through a goose, but that's not sating much. I think from Korea on, we've been fighting for murky causes as much as anything. The application of force has been largely measured. If we were attacked by Russia or China, I think we would witness what the full weight of the American military looks like.

She is now under the spotlight and asked to testify.
Does she really think it was all worth it now? Did she know what she was stepping into? How ulgy being a true blue Democrat is?
She can still walk away from this. Retract. But now the lawyers have their claws in her.

More random trivia? The guy who branded Victoria's Secret sold it to Leslie Wexner*, owner of The Limited for ~100K. The guy threw himself off the Golden Gate Bridge a couple of years later when he realized what a goldmine he lost. --
The ranch hand that invented the Rain Bird Sprinkler gave the idea away for free to the ranch owner who then patented the idea and made fortune with his new company.

However, assuming they do follow a correct course, and get Kavanaugh through, Trump should pull the trigger. Demand (via Twitter or wherever) that Senate GOPers obviate the insane Democrats going forward and forego hearings on future nominees.

You mean after the nomination gets out of committee? It'll really depend on how many procedural hoops the Dems want the GOP to jump through.
Let's say the Dems want the run the gamut. Let's also say Kavanaugh gets out of committee on Monday. Cloture would be filed on Tuesday. The cloture vote would be on Thursday, one hour after the Senate convenes, so it could happen as early as 1 a.m. If they got cloture, then the Dems would have to decide whether to fold or make the 30 hours of debate time run. If it's the latter, he would be confirmed Friday evening or early Saturday.
At any point in the process the Dems could fold and let the confirmation vote happen, knowing it would be a waste of time to stall the inevitable.

Ya know... I'm used to the routine. When a Democrat is going to lose, the polls show the race as neck-and-neck, to motivate Dems, and discourage (R)s.
Then, if this hasn't worked, about 2-3 weeks before go time, they show the (R) pulling ahead rapidly, to preserve their "accuracy" — as if we won't notice the legerdemain.
This time, they're doing it a couple of months out from the election. Makes me think the twerp is going to get blown out of the water come November.

I think it's like this. Strzok was okay with lying to the public about Trump's involvement with Russia, but he resisted polluting the *inside* knowledge base with partisan distortions.
"Deceiving the public"--by omission--is part of the job.

Of course all rules can be bent/ignored by unanimous consent. Senate works, from top to bottom, by unanimous consent - rules actually exist, and can be cited to block/change what others are doing, but even that enforcement is performed by a vote of the body (that is, things can be challenged based on the rules, senators will go up against the parliamentarian on something, and a vote will decide who wins).
Without Byrd, don't think there's been an interesting rules dispute in a long time. I recall an epic one back in the 80s where the issue turned on whether the footnote to a rule in the Senate rules was denoted by an arabic, or roman, numeral.
This actually has substantive importance for interpreting the rules. Byrd challenged parliamentarian based on this, and won. Every eye was on the TV, around the Senate side, for the duration of the dispute. Rare bit of substance and actual drama amidst the everyday political crap.

Who do you think suddenly had a 30 year long 'repressed memory' suddenly (and conveniently) appear in 2012?

Is there a difference in degree between a wet fart and a shart?
Posted by: flounderbot, rebel, vulgarian, deplorabot, winner at September 21, 2018 01:53 PM (5jVnA)
A wet fart is not in fact wet1 but is caused by the muscles forming your anal sphincter rippling at something approximating four times the speed of sound.2
This catastrophic damage to your anus causes what is known in the medical profession as 'nerve confusion.'3 Basically your nerves are completely taken by surprise by your calamitous flatulence and search around for the appropriate reaction to send to your brain. Your pain receptors, which have been temporarily scorched from your body, are of no use so the nerves settle either on a pleasant anaesthetic tingling, or in 90% of cases4 the sensation of wetness.
The nerve endings on your fingers are not so easily fooled however, so upon reaching down to the anus, fully expecting a swampy meatland, perhaps an easy slip inwards as if into a tub of custard or jell-O, you are met with the old familiar sensation of the regretfully shaved, but still entirely intact and suitably humid -but not wet- anus that you know and love.
I am not a scientist.

Moore and Kavanaugh are not the first time this has been tried by the Dems. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. They tried it with Thomas - fail. They tried it with Bush - fail.
